Hello all,

I just wanted to let anyone that was intersted in what the spots were on my tulips know that it was a botrytis called "Pokken", brought on by damp, humid conditions. I guess we did have a bit of that early on, but I would also say that the dry conitions we had also stressed the plants and made them more suseptible to disease.

Anyway, that's the update, it doesn't carry over to the next year in the bulb, and a weed free area, along with more air circulation in between the plants helps to eliminate the problem. So, there you go!
